Where I'm from, this is what Japanese breakfast is like Mommy! Right now, my mom is making eggs, and it's called "tamagoyaki" A little bit Smash it to make it mushy I never made one I didn't know it takes a long time to mix it. Have to mix it a lot of times That's not a lot of egg Wait, another tiny egg... We're doing it softly, mix it in wholly I think there's a lot of pressure on her to
make the best egg. She gets nervous Then put it again When you eat it, it goes *makes sounds* in your mouth I can't wait to eat it Wow! Does egg usually have maple syrup in it?
As an ingredient? No, we use sugar,
but we don't have it so we used maple syrup ...to make it yummy So what are you making next, Aiko? um... we're making miso shiru... like soup My grandpa grew this spinach So what's this here? This is tofu. It's kind of like sponge Wow, you put it all in What's this? What's this? This... wait wait wait... Woah! Oh, it makes the soup Ground up fish. Fish broth called "bonito" Fish powder Fish powder And that's the miso Mix it So it makes the soup, the yummy soup Don't mix it in the pot, you just mix it in the little... spoon It's done This is soup. Miso shiru. Mmm... smells good. The spinach smells good.

I don't know, but Japanese people make it pretty and then eat it So your miso shiru is here, your rice is here, your tamagoyaki is here, your natto is here, and sausages are here Itadakimasu So first, I'm gonna eat the egg I really like the octopus Do you ever put your octopus in the miso soup and then make it swim? No I eat the tofu first Then the spinach Taste good We have chopsticks, so we use chopsticks for everything So then how do you drink your soup? You just drink like this But, you're not allowed to eat like this. WIth your leg there? Yeah Why not? You can't do like that because "shisei ga warui" and then, that's like, that looks, you're not allowed to do that I do that all the time Yeah, but that's the manners of eating Next... the natto I don't know if you like it Let's do a close up of this Oh yeah good ol' natto yummy yummy Next, gonna eat the rice Spicy!

What an adorable little girl. I mean it's almost cheating, how can you not upvote?
I was raised by a single mother who housed japanese exchange students, starting when I was around two years old. Lots of older sisters, and this reminded me very much of my childhood in a way that rarely occurs. =)
Watching this guy making large amounts of tamagoyaki is mesmerising
what Japanese breakfast is really like
Posture is very important proceeds to slurp and eat with mouth open
Different conventions in various cultures are interesting. For example in Eastern Europe, slurping is considered very rude.
I like coco pops myself, sometimes I feel a little cheeky and have Cheerios
Cute kid but that natto is nasty stuff.
The fermented soy beans do not look appetizing.
SO CUTE
